This time Marco Belinelli will have to get on fire again to defend his 3-Point Shootout title at the upcoming All-Star Game – his competitors are surely challenging yet intimidating: Curry, Harden, Irving, Korver, Matthews, Redick, Thompson!

Last year Italy’s MVP will face this new challenge with a patriotic attitude, as he’s got prepared a NikeID 2014 Hyperdunk covered with the three colors of the Italian flag (green on tongue and on the covering layer, white for the upper, red for laces and sole) and with gold on Swoosh and Flywire strings to symbolize his title. Not only, as a thought goes also to his family (“Family first” is printed on the inside) and again to this country (“IT” stands on the tongue).

Once, talking about a possible Player Exclusive for him in an interview, he declared “Frankly I don’t care much about these things. I love sneakers but I don’t think too much about this” but he must have changed his point of view now, since he launched a design competition from his Facebook page. At this link http://gonike.me/NIKEiD_belination anyone can create a version of the Hyperdunk and post it on socials with the hastag #belination and #NikeID. Among all the designs Marco will chose the best 10 and, who knows, maybe he will even wear them on the court.

Therefore we live you with two prompts: take part in the design competition and, on Saturday night, put St. Valentine celebrations aside for a some time and support the hottest thing made in Italy since 1986!
